Each year on June 12, people in the United States observe National Red Rose Day. It honors the flower that is a symbol of love and romance, the red rose.
The June birth flower is the rose.
Red roses were used in many early cultures as decorations in wedding ceremonies and wedding attire. It was through this practice that, over the years, the red rose became known as a symbol of love and romance. The tradition of giving red roses as the strongest message of love is still practiced today.
In June, red roses are in bloom in flower gardens across the United States, and their beauty and sweet scent fill the air with happiness.
Mine on the side of the house were pretty, but with the horrendous winds and pouring rains we had, they are pretty much done!
